Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly Problems of Lincoln Town Car

My 2001 Lincoln Town Car has had two failures of seat belt items, specifically the 1w1z-5461202-aab buckle (made in mexico). The failure starts as an intermittent problem where the buckle will not accept the insert to keep us in our seats. Both buckles failed in the same manner.

Certain 2001 Lincoln Town Cars have been recalled for the following failures, among others (1) windshield wiper motor failure, and (2) seat belt failure to latch. I contacted Ford motors but they told me my car was not included in the recall even though I was experiencing the same identical problems these two recalls were issued for. My wiper motor has failed and the front passenger seat belt will not lock.

Dt: the consumer owns a 2005 Lincoln Town Car. She states that the way the front seat belt buckle is located in the seat it causes her right leg to go numb. In the other vehicles that she owned the seat belt buckle was beside the seat not in it. She contacted the manufacturer and they stated that this is just the way the vehicles were made. They also indicated that the seat belt buckle was put in the seat because of the side air bag. The dealership will not correct this problem because of the safety factors and regulations for the vehicle.
